Key lime pie

2-Step-7-Ingredient-Mini-VEGAN-Key-Lime-

I came across this on The Minimalist Baker when I was searching for a vegan cheesecake recipe, and lime is one of my favourite flavours so I had to give this a try. I couldn't believe how simple it is to make and with just 7 ingredients. The only prep time needed is to soak the cashews for 4-6 hours or overnight. I've made this cheesecake at least half a dozen times and I'm always amazed at the light yet creamy texture, it's simply delicious! And it's also been a big hit with my non-vegan friends.

INGREDIENTS:

 

1 1/4 cups vegan cracker or biscuit crumbs

 

4 tbsp vegan butter

​

1 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight or for 4-6 hours then drained)

 

3/4 cup coconut milk

 

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

 

3-4 large limes, juiced

 

1 tbsp lime zest

 

1/3 – 1/2 cup agave nectar

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. 

Lightly grease a suitable cake or flan dish with a little vegan butter.

​

Add the crackers/biscuits to a food processor until you achieve a fine meal. Add the melted butter and mix..

​

Distribute the mixture into the bottom of the dish and press down with the back of a spoon to flatten. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown then set aside to cool. 

​

Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the flavour if needed. 

​

Pour the filling on top of the biscuit base, tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles. Sprinkle a little more lime zest on top for decoration then loosely cover. 

​

Freeze for 2-4 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
